When the gods are corrupt, who can save you?

I was minding my own business – I’d smuggled my daughter and I to the Rough Edges of the world and away from the influence of Sizael Kingdom and it’s inhabitants, some of which really really wanted to see me dead and had so far bloodied their way through my guild and my wife.

But it seems if just one person knows you’re an assassin with the skills of a thief and were considered a master in the Reach of Sizael, laying low on the other side of the world wasn’t possible. In fact, it turns out that your slimy uncle-in-law that smuggled you into his very own city had plans for you in the first place. One: to blackmail you. Two: to force you to find out what’s killing off the other people he smuggled or kidnapped to be inhabitants of his city where everyone becomes his prisoner. I should have done my research into Moonshade City before going. The wife always said her father was trouble. Even the religion in the city was corrupt as the stars picked me to save them just as her father said they would!

Rodaki spitting aardvarks. Time to sharpen my blades and quicken my steps. It’s time to find a monster.
